of stock purchased including fees and/or commissions or $60,000.00 , which shall
be paid in annual installments of $12,000.00 per year, with the first payment
due on or before December 15, 2003, and like annual payments due on or before

just cause. Under the following circumstances, Executive will become fully
vested and will be entitled to be paid, in cash, the balance of the bonus amount

                  (b)      Permanent disability;

                  (c)      In the event more than fifty (50%) percent of the
                           stock of IMCB is sold constituting a change of
                           control as a result of a merger or similar
                           acquisition transaction;

                  (d)      In the event that the Executive is re-assigned by
                           IMCB to another organization that is not directly
                           controlled by IMCB; or

                  (e)      By mutual consent of IMCB and the Executive.

         4.       The benefits contemplated by this agreement are hereby
                  expressly declared to be non-assignable and any such attempt
                  at assignment shall be void and of no effect.

         5.       This agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
                  benefit of the parties and their successors or assigns.
